Fuck yeah I'll admit I'm a materialistic attention-craving dickhead. If anyone says they're building cars for any other reason they're lying.sigpic

I absolutely love it when people do the arm camber motion to explain it to their friends, when people smile and point at the lips of my wheels poking out from behind the car, and the slow transformation from "whaaaaaat" to "holy fuuuuuuck" with a smile on their face.

Well, I don't own a low car, just one with a stupidly low oil pan.

It's also fun at night when you can look behind you and see the sheet of sparks coming from underneath your car.
And unrelated, but the exhaust on my e30 shoots flames out when you hit the redline or if you tap the gas while decelerating in gear. That is just as fun. Seeing people point at the fire, scaring people and animals with it around town, lighting up the highway at night, etc. I flew by a friend at the speed limiter once (closed roads, of course) and they called me to say my car was on fire haha.

All of these are spot on reasons on why i like being lowered,
For me, ill say its the reaction i get from people, like my mom, as well as other people asking "Is it supposed to be THAT low?" "OMG why would you WANT it that low??"
Another thing i like is creating a scene, when pulling onto a main road from a raised parking lot, and everyone having to stop and yield for a slammed Mini Cooper, People looking "Man, that thang rides LOW!" "What kind of car is that??"
I would say the best thing is the reaction i get from non car people, and my gf when i talk about wheels.. LOL priceless...

The coolest thing I think (being one of few, I think one of 3 Saturn Sc2's) is the scene's reaction.
"wow dude, that's cool."
"never seen a Saturn like that"
"I can't wait to see what you do with it"
Or people outside of the scene:
"Is...that your exhaust? out of the side of your car" ()
"why is it.....scraping?"
"is your car okay?? I just saw you scrape!"
"dad look, that car has a side exit. like a racecar!"
It's alot of fun to be different, I'll be going in a new direction with my little Sc in the next few months. Wheels, new suspension, etc soon to come. Pretty excited. I hope I can continue to inspire people to take the road less traveled when it comes to cars. Sometimes what isn't exactly cool, is the coolest.IG: @kyle_eagleton
